             In recent years, the textile industry of Pakistan has grown very rapidly. This is mainly due to the demand of yarn, fabric and of finished garments. The countries where the labor cost is expensive tend to buy goods produced in third world countries such as Pakistan where labor is cheap which results in a low price of the cloth. Pakistan has also received a lot of competition from the republic of Korea and this is one of the factors which encourage people to produce more goods from cotton. Cotton textiles are divided into three types of factories. First, the cotton is sent to the spinning mills where it is converted to fiber, then the fiber is sent to the weaving mills where it is weaved by the use of machines to make cloth.
